Dutch Oak Tree Foundation
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Projects that relieve poverty or improve quality of life overseas fit the foundation's stated focus, and it gives its geographic focus as anywhere in the world, with Africa as its priority.
- Its annual report gave no readable grants figure and no grant range is stated, so a realistic request size cannot be judged from the available information, and it is worth asking the foundation before setting an amount.
- It often uses programme-related or social investments, including loans, so it is worth asking whether a loan-based approach suits your project.
- No address, email or phone number for applications is published, so find out how to make first contact before writing, and note that applications are accepted on a rolling basis.
- Do not apply if your project is for recreation or leisure facilities (unless it advances education or training), promotes the arts, or relieves suffering of animals, or if your work falls outside its objects.
